Overview of HTML Elements
HTML elements are the building blocks of all web pages. They define what type of content appears on a page and how it is structured.

Block-Level and Inline Elements
HTML elements can be either block-level (like <div>) or inline (like <span>). Block-level elements start on a new line, while inline elements do not break the flow of the text.
Nesting Elements
HTML allows elements to be nested within each other. It’s important that the nesting is logical and correct — don’t close elements too early or too late.
